Gemini Intelligence requirements mean most Android phones are going to miss out

Key Points:
- Google will launch Gemini Intelligence, its advanced AI feature set, on Android devices starting this summer, focusing on premium user experiences like enhanced voice-to-text and smarter autofill.
- Gemini Intelligence requires devices to have at least 12GB of RAM, a flagship chipset, and support for AI Core and Gemini Nano v3 or higher, limiting availability to the most advanced smartphones.
- Due to these requirements, popular models such as the Pixel 9 series, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 8 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will not support Gemini Intelligence.
- Currently, most devices supporting Gemini Nano v3 are slated for release in 2026, with exceptions like the Pixel 10 series and OPPO Find X9 series, which will be compatible with Gemini Intelligence.
- This rollout highlights Google's focus on pushing AI capabilities on future flagship devices, leaving many existing high-end phones without access to these new features.
